About

About Sarah Sze

Sarah Sze was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1969. Sze builds her installations and intricate sculptures from the minutiae of everyday life, imbuing mundane materials, marks, and processes with surprising significance. Combining domestic detritus and office supplies into fantastical miniatures, she builds her works, fractal-like, on an architectural scale. Often incorporating electric lights and fans, water systems, and houseplants, Sze’s installations balance whimsy with ecological themes of interconnectivity and sustainability. Whether adapting to a venue or altering the urban fabric, Sze’s patchwork compositions seem to mirror the improvisational quality of cities, labor, and everyday life. On the edge between life and art, her work is alive with a mutable quality—as if anything could happen, or not. Sarah Sze received a BA from Yale University (1991) and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (1997). She has received many awards, including a Radcliffe Institute Fellowship (2005); John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2003); Louis Comfort Tiffany Award (1999); and the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Award (1997). Major exhibitions of her work have appeared at the Asia Society Museum, New York (2011); 10th Biennale de Lyon (2010); BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (2009); Malmö Konsthall (2006); Whitney Museum of Amerian Art (2003); Walker Art Center (2002); São Paulo Bienal (2002); Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1999), and Foundation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris (1999), the Carnegie International (1999), and the 48th Venice Biennale (1999). Sarah Sze lives and works in New York City.

Biography

Biography

Born Boston, 1969 Lives and Works in New York

1997 School of Visual Arts, MFA, New York 1991 Yale University, BA, New Haven, CT

Sarah Sze grew up in Boston, the daughter of a Chinese-American architect father and an American born schoolteacher mother. She attended Yale University and double majored in architecture and painting. She took up sculpture during her last year at Yale, and her teacher, Ron Jonas, turned his students toward conceptualism which held great appeal for Sze.

Sze's first sculpture was made on the University center green during the Gulf War. During the night she and some friends assembled 15,000 tiny American flags laid out in a grid.

Following her undergraduate studies, Sze spent a year in Japan working at a TV station and studying ikebana, Japanese flower arranging. The following four years were spent in Boston where she worked in a public-school art-education program and painted on weekends. She then moved to New York and entered the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts.

In 1997 Sze entered a group show organized by the artist Laurie Simmons for the Casey Kaplan Gallery. Her sculpture consisted of tiny soap sculptures of Cracker Jax prizes on Ritz cracker pedestals with lots of colorfully wrapped candies.

In 1999 the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris offered Sze the opportunity to fill two glass-enclosed galleries which could be viewed from several angles at once. The resulting work, "Everything that Rises must Converge" was a sculpture of household objects and building materials which rose up and flowed throughout the space.

Since then Sarah Sze has exhibited at the Whitney Biennial; Boesky; Bard College; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Castello di Rivoli, Turin, Italy.
